Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned campus shooting that took place on Monday in the central city of Perm, affirming that it was a loss for the entire country.
"This is a great loss not only for the families who lost their children but for the whole country," Putin said in televised remarks a few hours after a gunman opened fire at Perm State University before being detained.
A gunman opened fire at the campus and killed six people before being detained, investigators reported, noting that this the country's second mass shooting this year to target students.

"Some of them have been hospitalised with injuries of varying severity," it said in a statement.
